The students are always really interested and seem very overwhelmed with all the information, but always ask really good questions. This year one of the girls asked me why was Noah still alive and almost 9, when the Drs told us he would only live for 2-4 years. I told her I didn't really know, but I think a lot of it has to do with the care that we give him. I think being proactive with the Drs and therapists and finding alternative therapies also really helps.
Noah wasn't feeling very happy when we were there, so he has his uncomfortable face on.
Good on you - you are very brave talking in front of all those teens! It is so good for them too, and will hopefully allow them to be more understanding and accepting of all people with special needs.
ReplyDeleteI know that face well.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see kids like Noah, and their families going to the schools and letting the students ask questions.
I think there is a lot more acceptance and understanding of people like Noah than there used to be, so it is good that you can take Noah to school and let the kids be interactive with him.
Hope the rest of his day was happier.
Love Mum.

i think this is a great idea and good on you for doing it for four years in a row.
ReplyDeletelove all your 'photoshopped' photos by the way :)
He was okay Mum - just had to do a wee when I picked him up from school so was really uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteYes, he is very unhappy when he gets like that.
ReplyDeleteI know how uncomfortable anyone can get if they need to do a wee, but poor old Noah needs a lot of help there.
Love Mum.
